LCHS Graduation Year: 2000

University: University of California, Santa Barbara

What am I dong now: I’ve been working at KPMG, LLP for a year now in Los Angeles as an Assurance/Advisory Associate. I live in Santa Monica in a house with Drew (Weightman) and Bryan (Hiscox) where they still envy my incredible shooting ability. Occasionally Cyrus will come over and throw up a completely uncalled for lob shot.

Best Memory: I could name the ’99 CIF championship that took six years to build up to, but I think it was the six years that offered more memories than the championship itself. To name a few:

• -Bryan eating three éclairs and a quart of milk on the way back from a summer league game, then throwing up all over the LCHS parking lot when we got back.

• -Going 115mph in the ’88 Volvo no one thought could go that fast.

• -Being able to find a complete meal at Circle K.

• -Pat Klune…

• -Going to Hooters after winning the championship in the limo Andy’s parents got us and having the limo driver go into Ralph’s and buy a hundred beers.

• -Pumping “Eye of the Tiger” through the PA at the pool.

• -Finally pushing Coach into the pool after all those years.....Thanks Coach
